Isn't a feature similar to the one in Ingress available for level 40 trainers in Go as well? I have been working hard leveling in Go recently to get to 40 so I can do this, since the closest pokestop from my house is 8 miles away, and I ain't walking 8 miles for a simple pokestop spin.
I wish Niantic made it easier for people to make new stops, or atleast take recommendations from people that could prove they live in areas that are very barren when it comes to stops/gyms.
Hopefully I could liven up the valley I live in in the future. I wouldn't want to set up stops/gyms close to my house, but actually set them up in places that don't cheese the system. There's many points of interest where I live, like playgrounds, hiker trails leading to mountain tops, ski slopes in the winter and such that would spice up an otherwise boring exercise session. Too bad the road to 40 is so long. Especially when you got nothing to work with in the first place.
